arriving from outside Iceland whose final destination is Iceland or who have to recheck baggage will have to go through customs controls at the port of entry (usually at Keflavík), regardless of place of origin. However, a duty-free store is present in the arrivals baggage claim area, and one can purchase duty-free products when in transit to the European mainland.
An airport transfer bus service (called the FlyBus) runs between the airport and Reykjavík bus terminal (1950 ISK one way, 45 minutes; 3,500 ISK return, as of August 2011). For 2500 ISK one way (4,500 ISK return; as of August 2011) you can purchase a Flybus+ trip which includes drop-off (and pick-up, if requested the day before) at a select list of hotels in the Greater Reykjavík Area. Even if you're not staying at one of these hotels they might be within walking distance of where you want to go, so depending on your destination using the Flybus as a personal taxi service may be economical.
Another great option is to take the bus which stops at the Blue Lagoon either to or from the airport, then continues every half hour or so to Reykjavík. (Netbus, is the cheapest option)
Be warned, a metered taxi from the airport to Reykjavík costs about 9500 ISK.
